I will spend 10 minutes researching environmental justice concerns in my region, their causes, and local initiatives to address these concerns.

Both system and personal sustainability are important! I will develop a plan with my medical professionals to achieve my best health and live my life to the fullest.

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

Historically, marginalized and low-income communities live closer to landfills, contributing to a multitude of health problems. I will find out how I can limit single-use items and do my best to limit the waste I generate.

I will reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by opting into paperless billing and ending unwanted subscriptions.

I will spend at least 15 minutes learning about water and air quality issues in my area, how they are impacting human and environmental health, and how I can help.

I will try a new method of food preparation, such as canning, pickling, or baking bread.

I will plant an herb garden in my home, workplace, or dorm room.

I will collect all of my unrecyclable, non-compostable trash to raise my awareness of how much I send to the landfill.

I will enjoy 1 meatless meal(s) and/or 1 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

I will make an appointment for my annual physical.

I will explore at least one new hiking trail or nature walk in my area.

I will get my Core Four Biometrics tests (blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar and BMI).

I will limit my social media use to once each day reducing my daily use by 10 minute(s)
